About this episode

Our story tonight is called “Coffee on the Stoop, or How to Have a Better Day” and it’s a story about a day devoted to small acts of kindness. It’s also about a kitty sleeping in a window, paints and brushes and flower seeds, and the awe we feel when a stranger reaches out to do us a good turn.

So get cozy and ready to sleep.
